Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - A Week in the Life Of Pip the Pelican

Hi Everyone! It’s me Pip the Pelican with a Lagoon Update. If you are just meeting me, I have many names but my favorite is Puppy. Shelley named me Puppy because I like to put everything in my mouth, even if it isn’t good for me. You see, I pick things up and swirl it around in my pouch like a fine wine. If it isn’t food I eventually drop it.

This week I was just couldn’t stop playing with the crab house ropes. I pulled on all the ropes but I couldn’t pull them up. I don’t like shrimp, it tastes yucky so I don’t think I want to eat a crab but I am very curious. I think maybe I’d like to set them free.

A sign of good bird health is if we are bathing. Well this week I got an A+ in grooming. Us birds flap our wings really hard on the water, splashing the water around to get any bugs and dirt off. When birds have bugs it means we are not feeling good. I’m happy to report I’m keeping the bugs off!

After I bathe I give myself a good shake then like I try to keep my wings dry by holding them up. I don’t know if all birds do this but Shelley says it’s like I just left a hair salon and I don’t want to mess up my hair.

The dolphins have been around too, along with Spot the egret, Mikey the great egret and Victoria the mean girl pelican. Ok, well maybe she isn’t mean but that’s another story. The momma dolphins and babies have been playful, but not staying in the lagoon long, just coming in to grab snacks and go.

So many more stories to tell! Stay tuned for more tales!

PS~. The sunrise for Tuesday is the previous post.

I’m so handsome

I’m very curious! I want to pull up the crab house with the rope.
